A local transportation company made history as one of its drivers piloted a shuttle bus across the Gordie Howe International Bridge, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
CareLink Transit’s special crossing
Driver Gill, an employee of CareLink Transit, drove a shuttle bus onto the deck of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. The company shared photos of the event on Facebook, showing the bus parked on the bridge’s roadway.
The crossing was arranged before the bridge opens to public traffic, offering a unique opportunity for the transportation firm. CareLink Transit specializes in providing accessible transportation services, and this ride marked a milestone for the company.
Bridge significance
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, once completed, will be a vital trade link between Canada and the United States. It is expected to ease congestion at the Ambassador Bridge and support economic growth in the region.
For CareLink Transit, the experience was a testament to the company’s role in the community. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime ride,” a company representative said, highlighting the pride felt by the team.
